February 28, 2018 – This guide is for people who have tuberculosis (TB), people who are at risk for it, and the people who take care of them. It explains what global standards are for TB prevention, treatment, and care, so you can know what services you have the right to receive.

We’ve divided the guide into four sections that cover your human rights and TB; your rights and TB prevention; your rights when it comes to TB diagnosis; and finally your rights and getting TB treatment.

Below you’ll find download links for the full guide, as well as PDFs of each individual section.
